I thought that id run this one by everyone:
Just got a link request from a web design / SEO company for one of directory sites.
They have set up a sub directory with a photo gallery for the region my directory covers and asked for a link.
I had a look around their site and theyve got a handful of these "projects".
Now the gallery is pretty nice, but each page has a "created by" link at the bottom, so it seems to be for the purposes of feeding PR to lower pages.
Im gonna tell them no, cos i dont want SEO adverts embedded in my tourism section, but i just wanted to find out some background on this.
Has anyone came across this tatic before? Is it considerate to be legitimate (seems off topic to me and therefore a no no!)?
Cheers
JOAT :)
PS i stuck this in the Google News section cos the SEO company were verging on being obsessed with Google - focused a lot of articles about Google and how the big G provides lots of traffic, etc and had a lot of links to Google (toolbar, spam report, etc).
Thats why i figured that this was for the purposes of PR and not a genuine project, and therefore im running away! :)
<added>come to think of it - they most likely frequent this site ;) </added>
